Lies, Lies and More Lies

Only as dumb a White House crew as the cretin in chief has accumulated would try to make the claim that they've lost incriminating emails.

As Chicago Dyke said in her post "EMail is Forever", the claims of losing this evidence is not going to work. Senator Leahy proclaimed it loudly on the floor just a little while ago.

President Bush's aides are lying about White House e-mails sent on a Republican account that might have been lost, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record) said Thursday, vowing to subpoena those documents if the administration fails to cough them up.

"They say they have not been preserved. I don't believe that!" Leahy shouted from the Senate floor.

"You can't erase e-mails, not today. They've gone through too many servers," said Leahy, D-Vt. "Those e-mails are there, they just don't want to produce them. We'll subpoena them if necessary."

Leahy's panel approved new subpoenas that would compel the Bush administration to surrender hundreds of new documents and force two officials — Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella and White House political aide Scott Jennings — to reveal their roles in the firings. The panel delayed for a week a vote on whether to authorize a subpoena for Rove's deputy, Sara Taylor.

The way that the Department of Justice made a criminal act out of what could have been routine is just a beginning of the idiocy being practice on public time for public money by the fools who are conducting public business without having the least regard for public service.

Helen Thomas in her interview with Chicago Dyke nailed it. There is no sense of the true meaning of public service in the present maladministration. They need to be put out on the street, and better people brought in, including in the presidency.
